17538Re: Gardner or Roberts/Robinson in Hayneville AL or Lowndes Couty AL/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2165.5.1/mb.ashx
Charla, interested to know what were some of Columbus’ siblings? I am a Gardner whose roots go back to Thomas Gardner and Hannah (Spann) born in Charleston, SC and died in Hayneville, AL. My grandfather was Arthur Gardner Sr. aka Buster. <br><br>I have a family tree book that my Grampy gave me (he passed away in 2010). There is a Columbus Gardner listed as being born May 1889 in Hayneville, but it doesn’t list any children/spouses for him. Looks as if Mack Gardner and Kittie Sanders were the parents of Columbus.2018-01-26 00:54:14Zniecy11419/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2165.5.1/mb.ashxButler, Moore; Pleasant Hill Dallas county, Collirene, Lowndes County, Alabama/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2266/mb.ashx
Barbra Moore my 2X great grandmother is my brickwall. I am searching for her past 1900. I do know that she married Charley Butler and that she had two children prior to her marriage and their names were Maude and Richard Moore. They lived in Pleasant Hill Dallas County Alabama. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2018-01-13 22:35:56ZSALISA34/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2266/mb.ashxRe: LOOK: The Averyhearts and Moores of Alabama/topics.ethnic.afam.al/849.1/mb.ashx
Do you know where in Alabama your Averyharts and Moore's came from. I to have Moore's from Alabama however they are from the Dallas and Lowndes county area. Also during my research for that area I have seen the Name Averyhart spelled Averhart on a few census records.2018-01-13 21:33:33ZSALISA34/topics.ethnic.afam.al/849.1/mb.ashxRe: FAMILY/topics.ethnic.afam.al/907.1.1/mb.ashx
Not sure if you all found your Fluker ancestors. My name is Salisa Middleton-Medlock and I was born and raised in Brewton, Escambia county, Alabama which is right next door to Conecuh county alabama where the majority of the Flukers I know live. There is also a Furneral home located in Evergreen, Conecuh, alabama with the name Presley-Fluker funeral home. 2018-01-13 21:17:48ZSALISA34/topics.ethnic.afam.al/907.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Hardys from Alabama/topics.ethnic.afam.al/1245.2/mb.ashx

Hi I am doing some research and hoping someone can help. I was working on my family tree and was told that My Great Grandfather had a wife name Noby or Novy who died in a fire.

Just a suggestion, but you might want to consider redirecting your search for plantations based on locations not the Surname. By doing a cursory search I found an article mentioning two plantations in Elmore county, AL <a href="http://www.thewetumpkaherald.com/2015/10/16/back-in-the-day-the-mark-of-a-man/" target="_blank">http://www.thewetumpkaherald.com/2015/10/16/back-in-the-day-...</a> which are not named for their owners. Senator Fitzpatrick's plantation home was called Oak Grove and the plantation of John Archer Elmore was Huntington. My point is that your ancestors may have owned plantations that are not listed by their surname. There are 2 Floyd and 2 Marshall surnames listed on the Alabama estate files, 1830-1976 for Elmore county. Probate records are the best place to conduct a search for any property your ancestors owned. If you need further assistance, I conduct genealogy research and consultation.

I met Fannie Erkins @ 25yrs ago at a "family reunion" in Chicago. At that time she said that my grandfather, Ben Langston, was her brother. I am unable to find any connection other that the fact that my great-grandmother, Kizzie lived in Eufaula, Ala. I also found the notations: "cousin" beside the names of Julia Wilborn, Julia Owens and Faye Bell Hobbs. My mother, Laura Langston-Easton, was born in Eufaula, Ala.

Ethel Mae does not have a mother living in the same household.<br><br>In 1933 Shutze marries Minnie More. We'll note in the 1940 census there are no other children younger than Ethel.

In 1930 Census there was no four year-old child. Bolivar County, MS isn't near southern Alabama thus we need to go back to "square one". Was the child born in 1926 given a name?

1) Does anyone know if black individuals in Jefferson Co., Ala in 1898 completed a marriage license/document at court house, which asked for where born, parents' names, etc? 2) Also, on the marriage certificate it lists a $200 bond with the intended husband and another individual; does anyone know if the bond name would be a relative, etc. for the wife? Or is it for where the husband worked? 3) lastly, anyone know of black church in Bessemer in 1898-1900?

Appreciate the feedback but I am trying to go backwards in time to Sylvia's parents, not her descendants. I found an 1870 census with a listing of Sinda Roberts, Julia, Sibba, Albert and Fanny. I believe this Sinda (perhaps Lucinda) is my Sylvia's mother but I have hit a dead end.

My 2x great grandmother was Mary Price (1880-1972). Her maiden name was Roberson and her parents are Matthew Roberson and either Lucy or Nancy Roberson. In 1880, Matthew and Lucy (Nancy) Roberson lived in Center Point in Noxubee County with two daughters Mattie and Mary and Matthew's mother Mary Roberson (1835-?) and her children Hezekiah and Ailsey and Ailsey's daughter Candace. Mary Roberson (1835-?) had several children: Shepherd, Zachariah, Matthew, Trulove, Edmond, Hezekiah, and Ailsey. In 1870, the Roberson children are living in Macon, Noxubee County, MS and next door to them is an Everett Roberson and his family so I'm to assume that he would be their uncle. The father of the Roberson children in unknown. On all the records for<br> Mary Roberson(1835-?)'s children, they claim to have been born in Alabama and I know that once some of the sons got older, they moved to Pickens County so I'm thinking perhaps that's where they were enslaved. I found a slave owner with the Roberson surname who lived in the county to the east of Pickens County, Tuscaloosa County.2016-08-05 02:45:43ZMississippiTyler/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2260/mb.ashxSimpson People of Sumter County, Alabama/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2259/mb.ashx

Earlier, I cited a 1930 Census of Cook, IL for Azaline Hughes married to Horace Crockett. Evidently the marriage did not endure? See 1940 IL-Cook-Chicago-(103-49)-Image 37. The surname is misspelled "Crochett". They were: "Raylene" age 33, Calvin age 12, and Mannie age 8. Two birth dates for Calvin Horace Crockett (13 Jun 1925 and 13 Jun 1927) and death 3 Jan 1996.

Men born 1871-1900 were eligible for WWI Draft. All of your ancestors registered in Okfuskee. That's an excellent source to learn complete births, complete names, birthplaces, and nearest relative. Shreveport, LA was birthplace of Eugene, Zacharias, and Julius. Ardmore, OK appears to have been birthplace of the younger brood? Several of the siblings expired in the same locations. Zacharias and Chester died in Cook, IL on 5 Aug 1942 and 12 Apr 1946, respectively. Maricopa County, AZ was the final destination for Edgar Napoleon (16 Mar 1976), Robert David (20 Mar 1932), and Servilla (8 Jun 1953).

Are you Nancy from the much earlier response? For the sake of continuity please choose a screen name and continue to use same? The likely father of Annie/Annye Rodgers' children was Benjamin Ward Mason (ca. 1839 - 19 May 1921)? He passes my "litmus test for geography" 'cause he's found 1880 AL-Lowndes-Piutalala-110-Image 20 as B. W. Mason age 40. Same place on Image 38 lived the family of Austin Rogers (note spelling) age 50. His daughter, Annie, may have been your ancestor? There's also a J. B. Mason in the same locale in 1880 on Image 22. He's Joseph B. and I didn't explore kinship between B. W. and J. B.2016-07-08 07:39:39ZHL2604/topics.ethnic.afam.al/160.9.12.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Rodgers surname/topics.ethnic.afam.al/160.9.14.1/mb.ashx
Hi,<br><br>I think we have a connection too. I haven't been on this board in a long time.<br>I've found that my great- grandfather was Jim Mason, BUT, I have a set of cousins<br>whose great- grandfather was Benny Mason. I figured that they were either brothers<br>or father and son. I'm pretty sure they were related in some way because my cousins by Benny extremely resemble my grandmother and her siblings that I know. This is very interesting/2016-07-07 22:03:31Znmallor49/topics.ethnic.afam.al/160.9.14.1/mb.ashxRe: Rodgers surname/topics.ethnic.afam.al/160.9.12.1/mb.ashx
Hi,<br><br>I haven't been on this board in a long time. Grew very frustrated. No one (alive) in my family seems to know anymore than I do. What I do know is that she had about 11<br>children by a white man named Jim Mason (some of whom I knew. My grandmother<br>was one of her children. Unfortunately, I didn't become interested until the older<br>members of the family who would know had passed on.<br><br>She lived around Lowndes County, Alabama. She was born around 1860. There is<br>also persistent talk that she was part creek indian.

Hi,<br><br>My maiden name is Cunningham and I am a descendant of the Alabama (black) Cunninghams. I have been doing research for over 20 years and have finally made sense of almost everything. I have recently been able to place my family in Africatown and have discovered some of the African names of my ancestors and the names they adopted based on their location and plantation upon which they worked. Any and all information anyone could give me about who was the first one of my African relatives to adopt the Cunningham name would greatly assist me. If you look at my tree, you'll see on my father's side I go all the way back to the 1800s with Rivers Cunningham and his parents T. Cunningham and Minerva. I have that John H. Cunningham was a slaveholder of Minerva but that's as far as I was able to get. Thanks. I'll be glad to share what I have as well.2015-11-08 02:18:59Zcohoyo1/topics.ethnic.afam.al/2253/mb.ashx
